Piano Blues Scales

Firstly, how do you form a blues scale? A blues scale consists of 6 different notes, namely the root, flat 3rd, 4th, flat 5th, 5th and flat 7th of the major scale: 1 - b3 - 4 - b5 - 5 - b7. For instance, in the C blues scale the notes are C - Eb - F - Gb - G - Bb - C. The flat third, flat fifth and flat seventh notes of the scale are the blue notes of the scale.
